Break Blade series by Yunosuke Yoshinaga

Anime Broken Blade was originally adapted from manga by Yunosuke Yoshinaga and made into a six 50-min movie series (2010-2011). The TV anime adaption takes those six movies along with newly animated scenes to form a 12-episode series. The story is set on a distant planet with its people able to control quartz and technology based on this power. An ancient robot mech (Golem) is uncovered but its technology, while advanced is different and no one can operate it. Young man Rygart Arrow is one of the few un-sorcerers who can’t control quartz like everyone else – perhaps he is the key to unlocking the power of this ancient Golem and saving his people from invaders.
